Chapter 917: Meeting Pandora Once Again
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After walking out of his knight's tower, Zhang Tie looked up at the dull red sky and took a deep breath . After that, he strode towards the Iron-blood Tower . . .
The sky in the Earth-elements Realm reminded Zhang Tie of Castle of Black Iron . In the Earth-elements Realm, it would also turn dark in the evening while the weird clouds in the sky caused a low visibility just like that in the evening on the earth's surface .
On the earth's surface, at night, sometimes the moons were bright and the stars were few when the visibility was very high; sometimes, the moons were covered with black clouds when it was pitch dark . In the underground world, the exotic clouds in the sky of the Earth-elements Realm seemed to reflect the climates on the earth's surface too .
Besides day and night, the Earth-elements Realm was exchanging atmosphere with the earth's surface, causing alternative four seasons and various climates .
After Zhang Tie left the knight's tower for less than half an hour, the sky outside the Lion Fortress had completely turned dark .
Bang . . .
A loud sound drifted from the sky .
Zhang Tie looked up and caught sight of a golden lightning bolt which flashed across the top of that huge pyramid in the middle of the Lion Fortress . In a split second, it started to rain heavily .
It was Zhang Tie's first time to see the rain in the Earth-elements Realm .
It was marvelous to see it raining in the Earth-elements Realm . Due to the existence of the transparent energy cover, all the raindrops would slide off the energy cover, causing a layer of exotic ripples on the dome of the Lion Fortress . It felt just like enjoying a heavy rain in the dining hall on the top floor of a skyscraper with a glass dome .
The heavy raindrops slid off the glass dome; however, the dining hall was dry . Sitting in such a dining hall, listening to the melodious performance of violin and piano, sniffing the fragrance of rose blossom, and having a candlelight dinner with a beauty in bobtail . How romantic it was . . .
However, Zhang Tie was in the Lion Fortress, which had nothing to do with romance .
Although there was no rose here, there were a lot of grim demons . The beauties here were a scarce resource . It depended whether you could have a dinner with a beauty . The fortress was filled with high-end eternal fluorite lamps . Zhang Tie thought that few candlesticks could be found here . Additionally, there was a river of magma with stimulative sulphuric smell being not far from the fortress . There was no feast here . All the resources on the earth's surface were relatively scarcer here . Breadfruit, nutritious mushroom and watermelons definitely posed a great test to your palate . . .
Zhang Tie didn't know whether the beauty would feel romantic when eating breadfruits, nutritious mushrooms and watermelons . No matter what, Zhang Tie didn't feel that it was necessary for him to eat those fruits . By having those fruits, you would not starve to death and could maintain your physical strength to move; however, your palates would suffer a lot . As there was a lot of tasty food in Castle of Black Iron, it was unnecessary for Zhang Tie to endure hardships in his knight's tower .
In the evening, Zhang Tie found fewer passers-by on the streets of the Lion Fortress . Besides knights, many logistical personnel and auxiliary fighters in the fortress had started to relax themselves . Only a few people were on duty .
Both humans and demons should comply with the universal rule of the balance of yin and yang . Sun would rise and fall; oceans would ebb and flow; plants had ups and downs . As living beings, how could humans and demons become intense around the clock like having dozens of kgs of viagra?
At this moment, perhaps, some human knights were still wandering and fighting demons outside the Lion Fortress and the first abyss while some others were still cultivating in their own knight's tower; however, it was time for most of the human knights to relax themselves after one day's busy work .
There were many bars on both roadsides of the streets in the Lion Fortress . As this place lacked resources on the earth's surface, many people in the Lion Fortress chose to relax themselves in the bars, where they could enjoy music and laughter .
In the evening, Zhang Tie felt the Lion Fortress became more like a market . Walking on the streets and sensing the reassuring qi, Zhang Tie, who had been restless since he started to escape, gradually recovered his composure . As a person who grew up in a small city, this qi made him comfortable like bathing the spring wind and raindrops . The burst of laughter from roadside bars made him feel especially safe and genial .
Not every knight liked this atmosphere . Therefore, the bars in the Lion Fortress were all far away from the knights' towers . However, Zhang Tie felt as free as fish in water in such an atmosphere . He didn't feel bored at all .
Generally, there were two kinds of bars in the Lion Fortress: first, being exclusive for people in certain classes and circles such as logistical personnel and knights . Although there was no stipulation in explicit terms, those customers basically stuck to this game rule . Outsiders would not enter a bar which was exclusive to a specific group of people in case of arousing others' attention . Additionally, it was impolite; second, they were open to people regardless of their identities . They just drank, chatted, bragged, accosted girls, exploited connections and learned from others, etc . . .
Iron-blood Tower belonged to the first type of bar . Only knights consumed there .
The Iron-blood Tower was over 1,000 m in height, making it outstanding among the other knights' towers whose height on average was only about 500 m .
Under the heavy rain and rumbling thunders, Zhang Tie came to the Iron-blood Tower on time .
Compared to the exaggerated gates of the other high towers, the gate of the Iron-blood Tower was much smaller . At the sight of its gate, Zhang Tie had known that it was a private place . If Zhang Tie was a bit taller, he had to stoop down .
After entering the gate, Zhang Tie came to a vestibule . After passing the vestibule, Zhang Tie entered a metal tunnel, both sides of which were carved with various rough reliefs . There were blue fluorite lamps in the tunnel, creating a pretty good atmosphere . Zhang Tie could hear the melodious piano tune in the tunnel from the bar . The ornaments below the crystal floor of the tunnel were earth-elements crystals . . .
This tunnel was luxurious enough even for knights .
The moment he exited the metal tunnel, Zhang Tie's sight had been expanded . He caught sight of a woman, whose black hair was covering her shoulders, playing a melodious piano tune on a music stool . . .
